Hottest people who are also brilliant musicians

Some people make really great music, and other people you just want to make out with. Who has both of these qualities? Try to only name people who are 1.) brilliant, and 2.) super hot. Be picky with talent. Don’t name artists like Nelly Furtado who may be smokin’ and talented but not necessarily incredible. Likewise, shallow as it is, try to go by the more textbook definition of what’s attractive. Maybe Todd Rundgren’s face has a lot of “character” to you, but you will not find much support out there.

My suggestions:

1.) Madonna. Although some may argue that she’s not “brilliant,” this was the first easy choice that popped into my head. Madonna has always been “hella” hot, and even if you don’t count how masterfully she controls her image and the media it’s still pretty hard to deny that you secretly (or hopefully, publicly) love every single she’s ever released (except for that shitty one that Timbaland threw together).

2.) Morrissey. I would love to make out with Morrissey just to hear him ridicule me and call me a “bore” on his next album. What does it mean that I have picked two people in their 40’s for my contribution to the thread?

Ignore that.

Sheryl Crow - she had some really horrible albums post-2000 but Tuesday Night Music Club is on par with Neko Case or Liz Phair’s best work

Harriet Wheeler of the Sundays - she has a great voice and a sexy overbite

Ricki Lee Jones - is getting on in years but was crazy hot in the 80s

Emmylou Harris…still.

The Smiths were an insanely good live band, and obviously Morrissey is a great lyricist, but he lacks something without Johnny Marr.

“I would go out tonight, but I haven’t got a stitch to wear”

Two words…
TORI

…thread closed. I win.

Yo-Yo Ma - Need anything be said? Gorgeous and one of the most talented musicians in the world.

Regina Spektor - Listened to her first few albums and fell in love with her voice, then saw a music video and my jaw dropped.

Nellie McKay - Pretty much the same as above.

Well, I’ve got a man in his fifties on my list, so I think you are in the clear.

Dave Navarro. Mmm, mmm, lickable! swoon

I’ve always thought **Carly Simon ** was (and still is) both talented and hot.
Look at this recent photo of Carly
She’s 63. :slight_smile: Wow

Came in here to say that. Second your choice-- she is incredibly beautiful and insanely talented.

I’ll second Madonna.

My nomination - I’ve posted about her before: Hiromi Uehara. Here she is making love to Chick Corea.

Jaw-droppingly beautiful and brilliant.

James Taylor.

How about Jeff Buckley? Amazing voice, and quite beautiful.

I came here to mention Nellie McKay. Great songwriter who can mix the styles of pop and musical theater, and has a razor-edge wit and beautiful face to boot. Why isn’t she married to me?

Bond

Norah Jones
Natalie Maines
China Forbes
Gretchen Wilson
Diana Krall
Sade
Siouxsie Sioux

Oh yes. You win.

Rufus Wainwright.

Tell me something, is Vanessa Mae a brilliant musician? Or is she just an unbelievably hot mediocre violinist?

Evelyn Glennie the deaf Scottish classical percussionist and composer. Here she is talking about music.
